Excellent advice and well grounded in research
This is the second excellent book by these two writers. Whereas the first one (Coach Yourself) was aimed at changing your own life, this is one you can take to work and change the way you manage your team to be more productive and self-reliant. And they give research evidence for what they say, you don't have to take it on faith. A terrific book, and one to be used again and again.
